Okay, so here we go, diving deep into the chaos that is my brain. Why am I even drawn to this? Hold on—let’s roll back a sec.

So, like, one game—totally buzzing to sink my teeth into on this hyped-up Nintendo Switch 2 thingy—is actually this old gem that first hit the scene back on the 3DS in 2012. Yeah, I know, right?! Switch 2’s shiny new lineup ain’t bad or anything. It’s just that Bravely Default? Man, it’s like… nostalgia with a big splash of awesome sauce.
How cool was it back then? Well, Pure Nintendo (great name, huh?) did this thing in 2014, giving it a solid 10 outta 10. Like, is that normal? Reviewer guy Thomas Jones said something (I’m paraphrasing here, bear with me) along the lines of Bravely Default being this crazy mix: old-school Final Fantasy vibes with fresh spins. Some stuff about gorgeous visuals and cultural sounds—whatever that even means—but fair play, it does kinda resonate. And the characters? Colorful. Fun. Addictively so. It’s like Square Enix found some magic formula or something right there.
Anyway, back to the present—or is it the future? Sheesh. The 3DS eShop shut its doors, making it a little tricky for JRPG lovers to relive the adventure. There’s this thing about a StreetPass and gameplay elements—kinda complex if you think about it while half asleep. But fear not, my friends! The flashy HD Remaster is, like, smoothing out those bumps. No more StreetPass shenanigans, plus new buttered-up mini-games like Luxencheer Rhythm Catch—I mean, what even are these names?—and Ringabel’s Panic Cruise. Joy-Con gloriously doing its mouse trickery.
Oh, and visuals! Visuals. Yep, they’re doing their whole enhanced-thingy-ma-jig. Might lose that super epic 3D feel from back in the day, but these remastered looks? From the art I peeped, it seems promising. But hey, what do I know? Probably a lot. Or a little. Depends on the day.
Moving forward—or backward? Not sure—can’t skip over the whole job-based battle shebang and those costume getups. Talk about a wardrobe.
In summary, as if that’s even possible here, Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster on Switch 2 might just be the ticket. Whether you missed it the first time or you just wanna relive that RPG magic, it’s shaping up to be a no-brainer—unless, well, I don’t know what I’m talking about. But I probably do… anyway.
If you’re itching for deets on Bravely Default’s plot and quirky battle system, head over to the Square Enix site. The digital pre-order frenzy is on in the eShop, marked at $39.99. June 5th’s the day it all goes down—alongside Switch 2’s grand entrance. Cheers to that!
